He tries for some reason to explain why oil / resource extraction bad compared to harvesting green energy to people who don't want to listen. Unlikely anyone here needs to watch this really lol.

I'm all fairness, he's drawing direct apples to apples comparisons between electrical generation to gasoline production, fuel energy per acreage for corn ethanol vs solar vs wind, cost benefits for investment now and the long term sustainability of stable materials vs consumables. His audience is probably not the people that generally need to be told that electric over fossil fuels is just better, but it's still cool to be able to fully understand the context by giving direct conversions, and useful for having that discussion with others. Honestly, my wife and I started looking at trade in values to possibly switch one of our vehicles to an EV soon, basically entirely because of the points he made about the financial viability now. So, he inspired me, for what that's worth.
